The $500 scholarship, one for each recipient, is an annual award given to graduating seniors at Wilson Central High School who are former Gladeville Elementary School students. The scholarship is made possible from the support of Gladefest’s event sponsors, which include Sonic, Duke Realty, Permobil, Amazon and Wilson Bank & Trust.
